IACV one
Across
- 3. Place to watch football and pretend you’re coaching from the sidelines
- 5. How long the Feast and Carnival lasts—no, you can’t leave early
- 7. IACV newsletter whose name means “news” in Italian
- 8. The three colors of the Italian flag—and apparently three colors that can start an argument about decorations
- 9. Club President who gets to wear the biggest invisible hat
- 10. Italian word on the club logo meaning “Welcome”—and the unofficial invitation to stay for dinner
- 12. Italian way to say “Happy Birthday”—preferably before the cake disappears
- 15. IACV’s unofficial chaplain—and probably knows where every prayer, plate, and person is
- 16. Monday game at the club that has nothing to do with locomotives
- 17. Month when the Feast and Carnival takes over the calendar
- 19. First Thursday gathering where club business meets coffee, opinions, and stories
Down
- 1. Kitchen Manager who knows where the pots, pans, and probably everyone else are
- 2. Thanksgiving tradition guaranteeing nobody gets away with saying, “I’ll just have a little”
- 4. What dining-room volunteers wear while saving the day, one table at a time
- 6. Last day of the Feast, when everyone is ready for a nap
- 9. Game held on the first and third Wednesday—bring luck, daubers, and your competitive spirit
- 11. IACV’s lifeblood—and the people who somehow always get recruited for one more job
- 13. Dinner combo proving that choosing just one would be unnecessarily difficult
- 14. Friday night IACV tradition that makes “I’m not hungry” a dangerous lie
- 18. Official IACV sport, requiring skill, strategy, and a very serious attitude about rolling a ball
